Working on Engines

Are you aware this is skirting to be "tech" thread?
Are you aware there is no "tech" forum here? Like politics, there is a reason for that. So get the posts in fast, and try not to get too "techie" before it gets locked down, or hidden, or deleted, or what ever is they do with prohibited threads.

Should start a Tech section where the Gurus could help a kid save a buck or two. The problem lies with computers and Jap cars, the youth cannot get their hands on the cars we used to buy for $200-$500 bucks and throw an oversized bearing on the rod and take a chick to the beach as many times as you could before you spun it. That's were all the basic knowledge of timing and valve train would come in.

Neither are allowed in my garage, let alone on my boat.
Wix racing is a great filter, one of the very best, if your name is Rick Hendricks, or Roger Penske and you change your oil every 500 miles. Otherwise, its probably worse than a Fram.

I ran a wix racing in the k-034, but did also change the oil everyday. Great filters. Although, with the new motor the oil doesn't milk up like it did before, so we may race on the same oil all weekend depending.. We'll see

I used to do all of my own engine r&r until I had enough money to pay the pros.

Spending time in the garage with dad and reading HotRod magazines helped me learn basics. My first rebuild was a 302 ford my dad needed rebuilt for his '57 Ranchero. This was back in 1982. My high school auto shop teacher let me do the rebuild in class. Back then, year 2 auto shop was a 2 hour class. I remember feeling like I wasn't learning much in there because I had already been exposed to most of the curriculum.

The k boat engine is a learning curve that I'm still working on. Tuning is an art that I may never master, but I'm paying attention when the pros are helping me.
